Error with Xorg

[vinnie]

Today I finally managed to install the dcore on a sd, but xorg does not start.

Here is a list of the packages I imported:
xorg-all
Xprogs
openbox
wireless
wifi
graphics-3.8.10-tinycore


and this is the error when starting xorg (click on it, sorry for the picture quality but the photos are not a quality of my phone):

[vinnie]

I have the same error also in vbox:


in addition i attach the Xorg.o.log

[Jason W]

I don't see a "desktop=openbox" in your cmdline.  What is the output of

cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop

?

[vinnie]

for openbox I had forgotten to add that bootcode, but while waiting I have also tried with flwm (with desktop=flwm_topside) and still does not work.

I also tried with "xinit circuslinux" but it does not go either, I think it's a problem of xorg (which when I tried dcore a few months ago did not exist)


graphics-3.8.10-tinycore is necessary?

[Jason W]

By the MTRR error I assume you have an Nvidia card.

I don't think the graphics-3.8.10-tinycore package is necessary but it is often helpful.
I will re-import xorg-all and make sure  a new copy is working here.

[vinnie]

no I have an integrated intel graphic card (GMA 3150) but in any case this would not explain why xorg does not work also on virtualbox

when I install graphics-3.8.10-tinycore the font size of the terminal change dimension, however, the problem remains the same.

I try to load the xorg.conf that I use on core, then I do not have a lot of imagination on what to do.

[vinnie]

ok, waiting I tried to load the same xorg.conf of core (the right command is "X -config ./xorg.conf" ?) but I did not have a happy ending.

I also recorded the boot of dcore so you can see how it will not start (you can see the background for a nanosecond):

I include the full screenshot of another error that occurs during the loading of packages-.


P.S. I took the video music randomly from those proposed by youtube, only for joking

[vinnie]

I have generated a xorg.conf and it is also returned an error:

It could be fbcon / fbdev, how i do not load them?

[Jason W]

Could be too many Screen and Device fields in the file, I had to remove some once to get xorg.conf to work on one of my machines.

I tried to remove some display and device

I tried even with import only xorg-vesa but gui does not work again.
uhm, what else I can do?

[vinnie]

I tried a debian stable live (http://live.debian.net/), I created a xorg.conf in it and I did start it with the same configuration.
Should I try it in dcore but I gave up because xorg.conf it is exactly the same as a configuration in this previous message http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,16294.msg96717.html#msg96717

Essentially the xorg.conf is good and also the packages in debian.
I tried dcore a few time ago  and xorg worked,  you have made ​​some personalization to xorg?

[Jason W]

We did refactor the xorg- packages, but it should not have affected xorg-all, only the smaller individual ones.  I will try to reproduce as I have an intel card available.

[roberts]

vinnie, are you sure that recent changes /etc/skel files are reflected in your home dir.
One change did involve the starting of X. See git for details.

thanks jason

vinnie, are you sure that recent changes /etc/skel files are reflected in your home dir.

roberts, I am afraid that I did not understand.
there are new updates in git that could solve my problem?

[roberts]

Compare /etc/skel files with those in home dir.
In particular: etc/skel/.profile: Using check for /usr/bin/Xorg for automatic X starting
